St. Joseph County Circuit Judge Paul Stutesman recently sent four people to the Michigan Department of Corrections after the quartet failed to complete drug programs and ended up with new charges.
Curtis Pollitt, 52, of Three Rivers, was sentenced to two to 15 years for escape. He will serve two years to 20 years for possession of meth; Robert Craig, 50, of White Pigeon, will serve 19 months to 10 years for possession of meth; Tomas Crawford, 51, of Three Rivers, was sentenced to two to 10 years for possession of meth; and Kody Brownbridge, 27, who had been homeless in Sturgis, will serve two to 20 years for meth possession and breaking into a building.
Pollitt and Brownbridge were sentenced as habitual offenders, while all four failed drug treatment opportunities.
